Walked here from Leuven, asked around, two of them were going to Brussels and the third one happened to be a couple living near London, so I got a ride from here through Eurotunnel all the way to north of London. And they ended up being worried that I will get stuck hitchhiking out of the London bubble, so they bought be a crazy expensive train ticket to Manchester, so I got to my friend’s place by the evening! ☺️rating: 5/5, wait: 7 min 💬, ride: 453 km ←

After having tried the other point near the botanical garden unsuccessfully, we picked this spot.Enough space to stop easily.
Around 5pm, there is shade.
We made a big Brussels sign and got a ride to leuven quickly.

We're going from Gent to Leuven, we made a sing with "E40" Someone picked us up after 5 min. She was going to Affligem so she left us in a gas station just before her exit. In the petrol station it took us 10 minutes to found a ride, but my girlfriend comes from Belgium, my be harder if you ask it in English I guess. Gas stations on highways are always the best place to ask for a ride.―Bruno Favio, August 2016

We were heading Gent. Is not a very good spot, most of people are going just outside Leuven or the the shopping areas near by. If you are going Further than Brussels direction nord wait for someone that takes further than Brussels because between Leuven and Brussels there are no Petrol stations.―Anonymous, August 2016

Perfect spot. Got a ride to Leuven in seconds. Cars can easily see you and has plenty of space to stop.―Lipegon, February 2015

Perfect spot for going east in the week-end! A little less croweded, so a little bit easier for cars to stop.I got a ride to Leuven after 1 minute on a Saturday morning.
You can push the button to cross the street on the pedestrian lane, to create a red light situation for the cars that are going in the tunnel. It might help :)

To Leuven/Brussels : very nice spot. There is a bus stop on the on-ramp --> lots of place to stop + a place to stay dry when it is raining.With a sign 'Leuven' I got picked up by the first car.

I tried that spot for like 3 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. I was standing just next to the Total petrolstation. The first car to stop was going next to Leuven. 30 seconds later, another stopped and took me till Liège, on the last petrolstation before Germany.―Couleurmate, August 2014

We came got here very late (8pm) and I think that was the problem. We needed to go to Liege but most of the cars were going to Brussels of Leuven. We weren't lucky this time. Avoid HH in dark!―Thejourneyramino, August 2014

Indeed few cars but on Saturday at 18:00 there appeared few cars every 5 minutes, but they were usually fully packed. Nevertheless my girlfriend and I got a lift in Brussels direction. If you are going to Leuven, they can drop you out in a petrol station next to the city.―Savejais, July 2014

Not so much traffic and the shoulder is a bit small. But 3th car passing by gave me a ride to the petrol station just before Leuven.―Anonymous, January 2014

When I needed a ride into Brussels, everybody was going to Leuven or Antwerp, so completely the opposite of Prino's comment―Anonymous, December 2013
